Bloodiest Bond ever?
Aug 24 2008, 2:13 AM EDT They'll have a job topping Licence To Kill. Multiple shark attacks, exploding heads, henchmen minced in heavy machinery / impaled on forklifts / devoured by maggots. Splatteriest Bond ever. Don't know which film had the most actual on-screen kills, but I'd bet on A View To A Kill. Walken whacked *everybody* in that one. 3 out of 3 found this valuable. Do you? |

Aug 24 2008, 3:23 AM EDT You're spot on for LTK. I forgot about the shark attack on Felix and his new bride. I wonder who has a higher total filmography body count - Walken or Schwarzenegger? Do you find this valuable? |

Aug 26 2008, 10:58 AM EDT walken missed a lot too... thanksfully. see Deer Hunter. fantastic movie if you haven't seen it. i'm not sure if the QoS will be the "bloodiest" bond film to date, but based on the advertising and the direction the series has been taking... you can be assured that bond will be trading in his p99 for something a bit less subtle and more high powered. less subtlety and higher powered guns means more people will be dropping. again, i lament the fact that bond has become a killing machine, as opposed to the stealthy operative who always figured out how to be in the best position to avoid the need to use automatic weapons. does anyone know at what point the bond films switched to "R" rating? the older ones were PG-13. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

Aug 26 2008, 11:55 AM EDT "does anyone know at what point the bond films switched to "R" rating? the older ones were PG-13."They were all rated PG until Licence to Kill, which was the first one rated PG-13 (they trimmed down the splatter just enough to dodge the R rating -- in the original cut, you actually *see* Krest's head explode, Felix's leg get bitten off, Dario's lower half minced into hamburger). To the best of my knowledge, there hasn't been an R-rated Bond... yet. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

Aug 29 2008, 2:51 PM EDT There has not been a Bond film where 007 does not use an automatic weapon since GoldenEye. I think Bond has become more of an action figure than a spy figure. Do you find this valuable? |

Aug 29 2008, 3:32 PM EDT Bond is the terrible man doing awful things to keep the rest of us safe -- he's the guy Jack Nicholson was talking about in A Few Good Men. His appeal is that he is just as bad as the bad guy. All that separates him from them is 1) which country signs his "paycheque" (and being a professional gambler, he doesn't care too much about that anyway); and 2) he'll always find a way to save the girl, along with tens of millions of husbands, wives, mothers, daughters, fathers, sons, puppies and kitties he'll never meet. But if he has to use a Chinese rocket launcher to complete the mission, out it comes. What all of this means, is...if you want to find a way to kill James Bond forever, a way that'll work BETTER than making him gay...just do this. Build him for kids. Make a pacifist 007. Have Greedo shoot first, as it were. We love Bond, because when the time comes that the bad guys can only be defeated by someone who becomes as monstraous as they are -- he's already there. Do you find this valuable? |
